im in great need of some new twin tips and ive had my eye on the 03' fischer airstyle and the 03' k2 enemy(ill gladly accept any other suggestions). i ski mostly in ontario and quebec and i want a durable ski thats good switch and carves well, i dont need anything for powder. So if youve skied the airstyles or the K2s or something better for east coast skiing provide some input

yeah! but public enemy are not beautiful! maybe the worst ski ever! K2 last more time because of woodcore. but 1080 are sooooo much fun!!! Ross' scratch BC suck for little tricks but when your high, their weight is very cool to go smooooth!! and they turn pretty good for powder skis!!!!! try Movement, i heard they are cool!!!! but if ur in love with K2, well, i can't fight

the 1080 was what i planned to buy but after i did some research i found that the topsheet chips very easily. i think that the 1080's great but i want a ski thatll last a long while.

my buddy has both the 04 bigstix 8.0 (airstyle renamed for 04) and the 03 public enemy, and he prefers the fischers because they are a little lighter and softer than the public enemy but they actually ski surprisingly similar. Also I am riding the 03 airstyle nt and i love em but the topsheet is like fiberglass or something cause when you get a nick the topsheet tends to tear and peel off(they fixed that on the 04 model) they are both dirty skis though you can't really go wrong either way

i rode the airstyle nt's for about a season. they are really good out of the park, but in the park they don't hold a candle to my MSP's

punk_rider, where are you from, and how do you consider the public enemy's the worst ski ever? they are easily one of the best skiing twin tips on the market right now, along with the 1080's

K2 ALL THE WAY. MY PE'S ARE BOMBPROOF. SO FEW PEOPLE RIDE FISCHER ITS NOT WORTH THE RISK. THEY DONT SPEND NEARLY THE TIME K2 DOES ON PARK SPECIFIC/TWIN SKIS.

^atomics are about the same as the fischers.....pretty stiff, really good on the mountain, but definitely not the best park skis

if you want some good all around skis that perform well in the park and on the mountain pick up some mad trix the new ones or the old ones are just as nice...
